Keynotes

Keynote by James O'Loghlin:

Virtually Brilliant

Turn your presentation into a compelling story

It was already difficult mastering the art of speaking to an audience who were directly in front of you. Now, the new world of on-line meetings, webinars and zoom conferences have created a new type of pressure for presenters. It’s much too easy for an online audience to become disengaged and your message to be lost.

With practical and friendly tips for every sort of gathering both in the real world and virtual, Leanne and James take you through each of the stages of presenting and show you how to keep your audience sitting up and eager for more. From researching your topic, to adding humour and interest, from using your voice effectively to conquering your nerves, and using PowerPoint to enhance your message, rather than bury it, the Virtually Brilliant approach will see even the most experienced speaker improve their skills enormously.

It will give confidence to those who have never delivered a speech before and will allow those who have done it many times to hone and finesse their skills in both the live and virtual space.

You will learn how to:

Learn the presentation techniques for high engagement both online and onstage

Construct presentations using our templates and techniques

Turn your presentation into a compelling story.

Use an economy of words to bring clarity to your message

Notice your nervous symptoms and channel your fear into excitement

Innovation is a State of Mind

How often do you have days when you are so busy you don't have time to think? Days when there isn't one spare moment to think about how you can improve the way that you do things? No matter how well your business is doing today, if you keep doing things the same way, in 10 years' time - maybe less - you will have been left behind. To stay relevant and successful, businesses need to keep coming up with better ways of doing things. In eight years hosting 'The New Inventors' ex-Australian lawyer James O'Loghlin met hundreds of people who thought outside the box and came up with new and better ways of doing things.

During this corporate keynote James O’Loghlin will talk about:

Why every business needs to be continually innovating and how individuals can do it

The three things innovators do better than everyone else, and five things every business can do to build a workplace culture that encourages innovation

Keynote by James O'Loghlin:

Creating an innovative culture

The greatest resource any organisation has is the space between the ears of its people, but many don’t get anywhere near full value from it. It’s more important than ever for organisations to be innovative, but how do you create a culture where everyone knows that part of their job is to think of better ways of doing things, and where new ideas are captured, assessed, trialled and the best ones implemented?

How to create a corporate culture where everyone from the CEO to the receptionist is encouraged and expected to be innovative

6 steps to creating an innovative corporate culture

The role of leaders and managers in fostering innovation

How to create a simple, efficient system to grow, assess and harvest

How to embed innovation as an essential part of corporate culture, rather than an ‘extra’ that is always shunted to the bottom of the list
